For the experts here. As far as I know Quantum Theory is described by a linear differential equation. How can it describe observed non linearity?
The point was made by Sabine Hossenfelder
- sebzim4500 4y agoNot sure what you mean exactly? Nonlinearity in what? If you read an introductory textbook the first nontrivial quantum system you will study is the harmonic oscillator, which has potential V(x) ~ x^2.
- MichaelRazum 4y agoI mean the dynamics is driven by a linear operator. But you can observe objects that can't be described this way. I think Hossenfelder described it in the video the problematic in Chaos: The real problem with quantum mechanics
- sebzim4500 4y agoIs there somewhere I can read/learn about it somewhere else? I'd rather not watch Hossenfelder's videos, she seems to live in a different branch of the wave function from me where e.g. superdeterminism is a reasonable thing to study.
